I run (2) Tascam CD-01U Pros. They are slot load, pitch control, one rack unit with digital and analog outs. The greatest feature on these is Auto Ready and Auto Cue. With both those options enabled, it will play one track and pause at the beginning of the next. I run a lot of dance things here and found that NO cd player has played everything brought in these dance troops. I think it is in some way they record it, or just cheap media. Slot load CD players have some problems with CD's with labels (which dance troops use as well sometimes) although if you get a big enough label on the cd, it could through it off balance and skip. They are $500-600 each.
+ one for the CD-01U Pro. Also have two. They'll play anything you throw at them except the very worst disks that have been ground into the grit of the car floorboard where they've lived for the last six months. They also have a feature that allows speeding or slowing playback while retaining original pitch, or changing the pitch without changing the playback speed. Great for singers who can't quite hit that high note, or dancers learning a new routine. It works amazingly well, without the digital artifacts until you get to extremes.
